Engineering Journal Rankings

What are the best Engineering journals?

The are many ways of evaluating what the top Engineering journals are including Impact Factor, SJR, SNIP, CiteScore, Citation Percentage, H Index, Self-Citation Percentage, Acceptance Rates, and Number of Submissions. Our interactive table below provides an intuitive and user-friendly way to explore and compare each journal's performance across these key metrics.

Importantly, the PJIP does not advocate for any particular way of ranking nor does the project assume to have any particular authority on the matter. The information presented here is solely to help researchers make informed decisions when assessing which journals are appropriate venues for their manuscripts.

For more information about each metric, see our comprehensive guide to ranking metrics or check out our FAQ section for answers to common questions and additional support.
